Veneers conceal the most common dental flaws and a few you may not have considered. And dental bonding hides some tooth flaws but has the added benefit of being noninvasive and inexpensive. Deciding which procedure is better for you depends on a few factors, and your cosmetic dentist in Towson, MD is happy to help.
Veneers vs. Dental Bonding
Dental veneers are thin half-shells of solid porcelain that can hide many aesthetic issues:
- Gummy smiles
- Small gaps between teeth
- Abnormally shaped teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Short or worn teeth
- Slight tooth misalignment
- Slightly crooked teeth
- Cosmetic chips
Dental bonding is a process that uses composite resin—the same material found in tooth-colored fillings. Dental bonding can conceal many tooth flaws, but bonding may not be as long-lasting as the dental veneer.
During your consultation with our cosmetic dentist, you’ll learn which option will work best for your smile and aesthetic goals. Your dentist will also talk to you about the cost and the treatment timeline.
No matter which option you choose, we provide aftercare instructions so you can get the most out of your beautiful new smile.
